Sol Lewitt, painted wood, 1973
This American artist is the figurehead of conceptual and minimal art. He emphasised the conflict between what we know and what we see. For Sol(omon) LeWitt, ideas are more important than their execution and he devised serial systems based on mathematical laws.
‘Cube Constructure’ is a precise arrangement of primary squares as part of open cubes. With this, the sculptor made an intellectual appeal for conceptual order, against visual disorder. His geometrically three-dimensional structures define the modularity of the surrounding space. This minimalist with Jewish Russian origins is at the same time the foremost representative of conceptual art.
